Coordination Control of Distributed Systems
This book describes how control of distributed systems can be advanced by an integration of control, communication, and computation. The global control objectives are met by judicious combinations of local and nonlocal observations taking advantage of various forms of communication exchanges between distributed controllers. Control architectures are considered according to increasing degrees of cooperation of local controllers: fully distributed or decentralized control, control with communication between controllers, coordination control, and multilevel control. The book covers also topics bridging computer science, communication, and control, like communication for control of networks, average consensus for distributed systems, and modeling and verification of discrete and of hybrid systems. Examples and case studies are introduced in the first part of the text and developed throughout the book. They include: control of underwater vehicles, automated-guided vehicles on a container terminal, control of a printer as a complex machine, and control of an electric power system. The book is composed of short essays each within eight pages, including suggestions and references for further research and reading. By reading the essays collected in the book Coordination Control of Distributed Systems, graduate students and post-docs will be introduced to the research frontiers in control of decentralized and of distributed systems. Control theorists and practitioners with backgrounds in electrical, mechanical, civil and aerospace engineering will find in the book information and inspiration to transfer to their fields of interest the state-of-art in coordination control.
State Estimation and Coordinated Control for Distributed Electric Vehicles
This book tackles some of the most challenging problems in state estimation and traction coordinated control systems to improve the dynamic control performance of Distributed Electric Vehicles. The developed methods make it possible to gain more accurate information regarding the vehicle states, ensure more desirable vehicle motions and better robustness in unforeseeable driving environments. Given the impressive features of Distributed Electric Vehicles, including their simple and compact structure, short transmission chains, fast and accurate control response, modular drivetrain design etc., it is widely recognized that they represent an important future development direction and attract many of the brightest engineers and scientists. This book makes a significant contribution to the design of safer and more efficient vehicles.
Distributed Coordination Control System
This book is guided by the typical application scenarios of distributed coordination control strategies inspired by the collective behaviors of flocks of birds, schools of fish, swarm of herds, and so on. More importantly, it gives a complete flocking solution from mathematical modeling, theoretical derivation, simulation analysis to engineering application in detail. In general, all things in the world evolves from simple to complex, from individual to group, from individual intelligence to swarm intelligence. Therefore, swarm intelligence represents the development trend of artificial intelligence in the future. This book is suitable for natural science enthusiasts and other people who are interested in these collective phenomena. It can be used not only as a teaching material for control science engineering and computer science majors in colleges and universities, but also as a reference for professionals in the fields of control science, computer science, mathematics, and physics.
